So my car likes to wear rear tires, not sure if toe is bad but the alignment is good (see here). Last time I did a rotation I had to put up with "singing" tires for a thousand or two miles (a month?) before they wore down. Right now I don't have tire noise--but I'm at the 5k rotation time.
Question: if I don't rotate, and live with it, will the chopped tires start making noise? Am I better to rotate and live with a lower level of noise for a short period of time, so as to avoid actual tire roar later on?
[Background: car had an alignment about 8 months / 17kmiles ago, and they didn't find anything wrong with rear alignment. But the car chopped rear tires before, and now after aligning. I drive about 500 miles per week, all highway. Tires are nice RT43's, 195/70R14 on my 1999 Camry, which has 220k on it.]
